Knee high by the Fourth unlikely Area farmers meet with Ohio ag director to share concerns

NEW WESTON — Will corn be knee-high by the Fourth of July (or preferably as high as an elephant’s eye) was a question, among many others, on the minds of area farmers gathered to share their concerns with Dorothy Pelanda, Director of the Ohio Department of Agriculture at Buschur Dairy Farms on Friday.

Pelanda was collecting information and stories related to the challenges farmers are facing due to the onslaught of rain. To date, Darke County has already received a year’s

average in precipitation and the challenges it’s wrought — a widespread ripple effect from an inability to get into fields to a livestock feed crisis.

While many farmers shared they’ve been through difficult times before — 1981 came into conversation several times — nothing has proven as challenging as this year.

One statement standing out above all others, “We’ve never seen anything like it.”

However, help may soon be on the horizon.

According to Pelanda, Governor Mike DeWine is seeking federal disaster aid from U.S. Department

of Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue. The process is two-fold with an initial letter sent to the Ag Secretary in mid-June for disaster aid and a second letter under draft on specific relief obtained by conversations with area farmers.

Young farmers, those with less than five years in the field, were of particular concern given they are at the greatest risk.

“A year like this can be devastating for them,” said Ken Thompson, a veteran farmer of Van Buren Township, citing the amount of debt young farmers may carry, along with the fact less youth were involved in agricultural. “We need

Bethany J. Royer-DeLong | Darke County Media County farmers met with Dorothy Pelanda, Director of the Ohio Department of Agriculture at Buschur Dairy Farms on Friday to discuss the crisis surrounding above average rainfall in the county. The rain has caused late planting and even some fields going unplanted, leaving questions on what the season will bring. This cornfield in southern Darke County will more than likely not be knee-high (or preferably as high as an elephant’s eye) by July 4.

Pelanda assured those in attendance they were the squeaky wheel, keeping daily conversations with federal partners so that, “They understand that this situation is a crisis on many levels.”

For now, it is a waiting game, with Pelanda stating it was one thing to read data, quite another to come out and have farmers openly share concerns.

He said on former bikea-thons he would collect money for MDA, but noted that now all donations are done electronically over the Internet.

After he is done in Adrian, he is planning to ride his bike back home.

a felony of the 5th degree.

A copy of the report was forwarded to the Darke County Prosecutor’s Office for felony charges of abusing harmful intoxicants.

The two cans of air duster were placed into property as evidence.

On June 21 two officers were at Circle Mart when an employee reported a disorderly male stumbling around in the parking lot.

Officers located the male on the east side of the building, where he was swaying back and forth trying to light a cigarette.

When asked if he was OK, the subject cursed at the officers. The officers could smell a strong odor of alcohol. When asked his name, date of birth and identification, he continued to yell obscenities and failed to identify himself. Officers advised the subject if he didn’t identify himself he would have to be taken to jail, but he continued to yell obscenities. Officers placed the male subject in handcuffs for failure to identify himself. Once handcuffed, officers located an Ohio ID, which identified him as Kory Dusko. During a search of Dusko’s bookbag, officers located several Mason jars along with a

large plastic bag full of a green leafy vegetation that appeared to be and smelled like marijuana. Also located in the bag were several empty bags and digital scales used for the packaging and sales of narcotics.

Officers then searched the defendant’s shorts pockets and found a total of $491 mostly in small denominations. All items were taken to the Greenville Police Department, photographed and placed into property.

The unofficial weight of the marijuana seized was 172 grams. Once at GPD, officers asked Dusko several times who they could call to come get him and he gave his mother’s name and phone number. A message was left on his mother’s voice mail. When officers attempted to get another phone number from Dusko, he again became belligerent. He was taken to the Darke County Jail, where he was incarcerated for aggravated trafficking in drugs, failure to identify, disorderly conduct and held with no bond.

On June 21 an officer conducted a traffic stop after seeing Dustin Clark, who had a suspended driver’s license, operating a vehicle in the 600 block of Wagner Avenue.

Two other adults and two juveniles were passengers in the vehicle. During the traffic stop, the officer noticed Clark seemed very nervous. When the officer asked Clark if he knew why he had been stopped, Clark admitted it was because he didn’t have a license to drive. The officer asked all three adults if there was anything illegal inside the vehicle and all three said “no.” When the officer asked if he could conduct a search of the vehicle, Clark said “no.” The officer told Clark that was OK because he was going to call for a canine unit. The canine unit arrived on scene and the canine gave an alert that there were drugs inside the vehicle.

All three occupants were searched and nothing was found. During the probable cause search of the vehicle, an officer located three plastic bags of green, leafy vegetation inside the center console. Clark admitted the bags contained marijuana, which belonged to him. Officers also found a digital scale and a pipe containing burnt reside.

Clark told the officers he thought there was about an ounce of marijuana in the bags. Clark was sent on his way and the vehicle was released to another individual. All illicit items were transported to the police department. The unofficial weight of the marijuana was 1.33 oz. Clark was contacted to come to the GPD, where he was served with citations for driving under suspension and possession of marijuana.

On June 23, an officer was running radar in the parking lot at 1469 Sweitzer St. The female operator of the vehicle advised the officer that the passenger, Tyler E. Garner was on felony probation and had a “bag of weed” in his pocket. The officer exited the cruiser and approached Garner, who took the bag out of his pocket and handed it to the officer explaining that it was “weed.” The bag contained a small amount of a green leafy vegetation/ substance that had the

odor of marijuana. The officer conducted a probable cause search of Garner and placed him in the back of the cruiser. Garner was asked if that was the only illegal item he had, and he explained that it was the only thing that he had on him. The complainant told the officer she and Garner are recovering addicts and the defendant was the father of their children. She explained she did not want to see Garner go to jail but that she cared about him and she wanted him to be clean and sober for their children. The defendant was issued a misdemeanor citation for possession of marijuana and released to the complainant. The bag was transported to GPD and placed into evidence.

Contact was made with Garner’s Preble County Probation Officer concerning the incident and citation.

DUI On June 24 an officer was dispatched to the 300 block of Bucoba Street in reference to a traffic offense.

Earlier in the evening officers and paramedics were dispatched to the area in reference to a possible overdose. Officers responded and found Tyler Leas. who refused treatment. Approximately two hours later, officers were called back in reference to a domestic disturbance. While questioning Leas, he admitted he was a heroin user and had snorted a few caps earlier and almost overdosed.

He explained that today was the anniversary of a

family member’s death and he was having a hard time.

Leas said he had a job and didn’t see anything wrong with using drugs as long as he contributed by working and taking care of his family. The officer explained there were several places he could go to get help for addiction, but he was not receptive to the information. Leas was told to stay inside and go to bed after being warned for disorderly conduct. The neighbors also asked to speak to the officer about Leas. They expressed their concerns with his reckless behavior while doing drugs and driving vehicles. One neighbor also said he didn’t think Leas had a valid driver’s license. The neighbors were advised to call GPD if they observed Leas doing anything reckless or if he was seen driving a car. Later, a neighbor reported they witnessed Leas get into his car and head westbound on Bucoba Street. The officer asked dispatch to check the driving status of Leas and learned his license was suspended. The officer located the vehicle traveling northbound on Sweitzer Street near Speedway. Leas turned into Speedway and the officer followed. According to the report, Leas attempted to exit the vehicle. The officer gave loud verbal commands for Leas to stay inside the vehicle and he finally complied after the third command. Another police officer was called to assist. Leas said he had come to Speedway to clean out his car, then said he

came to get something to drink. Through a LEADS/ NCIC check the officer discovered the defendant’s Ohio driver’s license was under multiple suspensions including a license forfeiture from April 2019 to indefinite. Leas was asked to perform sobriety tests, which he failed. Leas was placed under arrest for OVI and transported to the Greenville Police Department, where he refused to provide a urine sample.

Leas was placed under an ALS and cited for OVI and DUS. He was transported to the Darke County Jail, where he was incarcerated and held on the charges with a bond of $3,050.

During an inventory of the vehicle, a prescription pill bottle containing a muscle relaxant was located. The label had been peeled of so officers were not sure who the prescription belonged to. The pills were transported to GPD and placed into property for safekeeping.

AO Golf Committee, CADC plan tourney GREENVILLE – Preparations for the 38th annual Annie Oakley Golf Tournament are underway. Last year 94 golfers signed up for the 18-hole event, which benefited the Cancer Association of Darke County.

Committee members for the tournament are Matt & Angie Arnold, Scott and Lisa Frens, Kent & Lynn James, Todd and Beth Durham, Jack & Kay Sloat, Ed & Kay Curry, Larry Ullery and Christine Lynn.

Last year’s tournament was very successful and the event raised $15,000 for the Cancer Association of Darke County. This fundraiser helped the association to provide benefits to over 250 Darke County residents battling cancer. These benefits were provided in the form of reimbursement for medications, transportation, medical supplies and nutritional supplements such as Ensure.

This year’s tournament is scheduled for July 22 at the Turtle Creek Golf Course

and will feature a shotgun start with scramble format, chances to win great prizes and dinner for the golfer and their guest. Most importantly, the proceeds from this fun and exciting event will once again benefit the local and independent Cancer Association of Darke County.

Lunch will be served at 11:15 a.m. with tee off time scheduled for 12:15 p.m.

Each golfer has the opportunity to win a new car for a hole-in-one on the sixth and seventeenth hole. Any golfer getting a hole-in-one in the eighth hole will win their choice of premium golf equipment. The golfer getting a hole-in-one on the eleventh hole will win a Yamaha Golf Cart.

Additional information and entry forms for the 38th annual tournament are available at the Cancer Association of Darke County, 937-548-9960 or email director@cadcinfo.org or from any tournament committee member.

Main Street Greenville’s July First Friday is set to be one of the largest of the year with a wide range of activities including live music, a water balloon toss, limbo, lawn games, and a free outdoor movie.

July First Friday features music GREENVILLE – Main Street Greenville will be introducing a new theme for July’s First Friday event, Heat Wave. The lazy, hazy days of summer are finally here, so head on over to downtown Greenville to make your memories of winter fade away.

For some good old fashioned summer fun, stroll on downtown Friday, July 5 from 6 to 9 p.m.

The festivities will include music by Shannon Clark and the Sugar, a water balloon toss, oversized lawn games, an outdoor movie, and fun family activities.

Shannon and the Sugar specialize in a multitude of genres from soul, pop, rock, to altcountry, so there is a special song for everyone who comes out to listen.

BMF Fitness, a new downtown business, will be hosting limbo on West Third Street throughout the evening. Right across Broadway on East Third Street, Main Street Greenville will be offering a “pocket park” made possible thanks to a partnership with Rotary Club of Greenville and Hupmans Lawn Care. This temporary park will be open to the public to enjoy a place to sit down, relax, socialize, and enjoy some oversized yard game fun.

Main Street Greenville will also be offering a water balloon toss contest on the courthouse lawn starting at 7 p.m. Grab a friend and

see if you can go the distance without letting your balloon pop. The winners of the toss will receive a $10 gift card to Chillz Frozen Yogurt.

Once the sun sets bring out your lawn chairs, blankets, family, and friends for an outdoor movie showing at the “Theater on Third” sponsored by Greenville National Bank!

The event will feature a family friendly movie (to be announced) starting at dusk (approximately 9:15 p.m.).

I adjusted a connection and the engine kicked off.

I fixed it and it didn’t cost me a thing – that’s a big victory.

Back to my oldest daughter’s car. Her car died at a gas station as she was coming home from Tiffin. My first thought was battery, but I just put a new one in (see above). My second thought was starter, but it didn’t make the normal bad starter sound. The tow truck driver lifted the car and tapped on the starter and turned the key. It started. I thought, “Yay. I can fix that. I’ve changed a starter before.” I bought the starter and looked underneath the car. I needed to loosen the engine mount bolts. That is well beyond my prowess. Put that one in the lost battle column.

I’m ready to go back to the days of horses, but my family would find a way to break them, too.

Shilt and Gilbert earn All-State honors for 2019

By Gaylen Blosser DarkeCountyMedia.com

GREENVILLE – Lady Wave softball players Lani Shilt and Morgan Gilbert recently received Ohio High School Fastpitch Softball Coaches Association (OHSFSCA) Division II All-State honors for their 2019 play.

“So proud of the program and the level we play and opportunities it gives our student athletes,” said Greenville Hall of Fame coach Jerrod Newland.

Lady Wave senior right fielder, Lani Shilt was named First Team All-State in her final year wearing the Green and White.

“My goal was to make AllState this year but I didn’t expect to make first team” said Shilt.

“Just amazing that Lani in her senior season excels and clutches up to win four gold medals (LWSB District Titles) and play in some

high energy games over her career,” Newland said. “So excited for her and the path she paved for future LWSB players. She hit the ball so solid and only struck out two times all year.”

Shilt will be attending Bowling Green University in the fall majoring in accounting and has made the decision not to continue playing softball at the next level. The Greenville senior took time to thank the many that had a part in her long softball career.

“I definitely thank my coaches for pushing me every day and making me better – and my teammates for always pushing me harder at practice,” said Shilt. “This team helped me the most, pushing me the most all the way up and to this point.”

Morgan Gilbert (L) and Lani Shilt (R) recently received Ohio High School Fastpitch Softball Coaches Association (OHSFSCA) Division II All-State honors for their 2019 play.

Championship team was coaching first base for the senior’s final season.

“She made me better just because she goes harder on me than anybody else does,” noted Lani.

Greenville junior short-

stop, Morgan Gilbert was name Second Team AllState for the 2019 season.

“It’s a great honor,” Gilbert said. “You go to the banquet and you see so many girls from other schools. A lot of them are going to play big college ball and it’s just a great honor.”

Gilbert gives all the credit for her success to her coaches and teammates, a program that has an unprecedented 16 consecutive seasons with 25 or more wins.

“It’s definitely the team because Lady Wave Softball brings its own name,” Gilbert stated. “If I wasn’t on a good team, nobody would care to look at the players on that team. If I make a good play, I couldn’t have made that unless the pitcher made the girl hit it there so it’s definitely the team and Coach Newland. He’s such a good coach and he knows how to make you play your

best ball – always.”

“Morgan Gilbert makes other kids look very average at shortstop,” said Coach Newland. “She gets to balls that great players don’t sniff. The depth that we have allowed her to get as she gets stronger is getting wild. She plays shallow left these day.”

“She’s a gem,” Newland Continued. “Number 5 (Gilbert) has been a twotime All-Ohio kid and is challenged for 2020. Since we have only ever had two that have been three timers (Abbie Shell and Ally Russel), Morgan Gilbert is having one of the greatest softball careers ever and I can’t wait to see what the next 11 months brings her as she gets ready to excel at the next level of the D-I (college) softball world.”

The Lady Wave Softball program returns nine seniors for the 2020 season anchored by two time All-

Stater Morgan Gilbert.

“The senior class for 2020 is primed and excited for the final chapter of their careers,” said Coach Newland. “All nine can play at the next level if they do so chose so they all are working hard individually and making weaknesses their strengths.”

“I feel like with pressure like that (2020 winning season), it either breaks you or it can take you all the way,” concluded Gilbert. “We have a pretty solid group to where we could go all the way. We just have to keep working hard and it starts now. We have had open gyms at the Academy and hitting and playing summer ball. If everyone finds their role next year – we’ll be fine.”

Coach Moore was assisted at the three day camp by her high school basketball players and coaching staff.

“I’m so proud of my high school girls,” Moore stated.

“I couldn’t have done it without them. They were in charge, they taught the girls the fundamentals.”

“I was kind of just the overseer and they did the teaching,” added Moore.

“It’s a great learning opportunity for them as well.”

“This is our fourth year and just being with coach this whole time – it’s just been a blast.” said Lady

“When I was younger we used to do these camps.

Now we are seniors and it’s almost over so we get to enjoy being with them and teaching them.”

“It’s so much fun – they’re a blast to be around,” said FM senior Corina Conley. “They are always playing hard and they have so much energy.

It’s just great to be around them. It makes me happy and I know it makes everybody else happy too.”

“It pleasures me,” said senior Belle Cable, “just to see the little girls out here working at the young age getting themselves ready for high school.”

Coach Moore is pleased

to have a large high school facility to hold the annual girls basketball camp.

“It’s great we have the facility to accommodate the young kids,” Moore noted.

“We brought in a smaller hoop and we were able to lower our rims in order for them to have success and make sure they keep the right form.”

Schmitz leads football camp GREENVILLE – Greenville concluded its three day boys football camp Wednesday led by first year head varsity football coach Bart Schmitz at Harmon Field with 30 campers taking to the artificial turf.

“The kids are having fun learning the fundamentals,” Coach Schmitz said of the successful camp. “The main focus is just enjoying their time here, having some fun – learning some things is a bonus.”

The camp is designed to

instruct the basic fundamentals of football to second through sixth graders, and for many of the campers, it was their second football camp of the summer with the completion of the 26th Annual Matt Light All-Conference Football Camp several weeks ago.

“We are teaching the fundamentals of how to get in the proper threepoint stance, how to run good routes, how to take handoffs,” said Schmitz.

“Just getting down to the fundamentals and making sure that they understand what it takes to play this game and keep yourself safe also.

GHS coaches Nathan Stuchel, Adam Eberwein, and first year assistant coach Cody Mckenzie, a Vandalia-Butler graduate assisted Coach Schmitz along with many Greenville High School football players.

“We have 15-20 high schoolers out here every day,” Schmitz stated.

“They do an outstanding job interacting with the campers and it is really good for these young kids to see the older kids taking the time to spend with them knowing that they will eventually be at that point sometime as well.”

Greenville Citizens Baseball League tourney hosts 26 teams

By Gaylen Blosser DarkeCountyMedia.com

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Citizens baseball League (GCBL) hosted the fourth annual Tyler Kuhn Memorial Baseball Tournament this past weekend at Sater Heights Park.

Friday morning rains had members of the board scrambling to have the local diamonds ready for Friday night tournament play while Saturday morning showers had the crews back at the park in the early morning hours working to keep the tournament on schedule throughout the weekend.

“We dodged a bullet,” said GCBL Tournament Director TJ Powers. “We got lucky with the weather.

We were a little worried and it panned out – a great weekend for baseball.”

The tournament was held to honor Kuhn, an outstanding baseball player for the Green Wave varsity baseball team. Tyler lost his life in a tragic car accident on October 2, 2012.

While playing for the Greenville, Tyler wore No.

10 and no player has worn the uniform number since.

Tyler’s number was officially retired at the opening ceremonies of the inaugural 2016 Tyle Kuhn Memorial Tournament.

“We made sure to remind everyone the last couple of days what the tournament is about and what it’s for,” said Powers. “It’s to remember a great young man, Tyler Kuhn who tragically lost his life in 2012. We hope to always have this tournament in Greenville to continue his memory here.”

Kuhn, a 2012 GHS graduate was the starting centerfielder for the Greenville varsity baseball team.

A total of 26 teams took to the diamonds with teams coming from as far away as Columbus, Chillicothe and Bellefontaine with the field made up of 8U, 10U, 12U and 14U teams.

“We want to thank the entire GCBL board from Commissioner Ryan Delk, our concession manager Ron Kerg, our treasurer Erin Eberwein – all the board members,” Powers

Gaylen Blosser | DarkeCountyMedia

stated. “Adam Eberwein (Vice Commissioner) does a fantastic job with the diamonds. We all work together…the entire board.

It’s what it is all about. It’s a great group of people down here that help.

The tournament is made up of local community teams and does not include “select” teams giving the weekend tournament a community atmosphere.

The family of Tyler Kuhn presented a new display case to GCBL, now installed at the Sater Park diamonds.

“I was great to have the Kuhn family here at the dedication of the display

case,” said Powers. “The donation to GCBL in remembrance of Tyler is very much appreciated.”

Saturday and Sunday 50/50 drawings were held to help the family of Ray Lutz who is battling health issues.

“There are a lot of people at the park that have connections with Ray (Lutz),” said Powers. “Ray played down here and coached down here. We’re pulling for him and hopefully he’ll fight the good fight and come out of this good.”

As with all GCBL tournaments, the Greenville is known for excellent food and service at the Sater Park concession stand with all the proceeds going back into the park.

“The concessions – that is huge” noted Powers, “That is a big money maker for our park and everybody complements our food. We can thank Winners (Winners Meat Farm) for that.”

TJ Powers serves as the

GCBL board secretary and tournament director for 2019.

Overholser featured in solo art exhibit GREENVILLE – The Conneaut Arts Center is excited to host an exhibition of paintings from Jennifer Overholser for its July show. Titled Transitions, the show will feature over 25 original oil paintings from the Greenville based artist.

“Life is full of transitions,” Overholser said.

“For me, the last few years saw transitions from college to the working world, single life to married life, and from growing up in northeast Ohio to now living here in

Jennifer Overholser

Greenville. You’ll see some of these transitions in my work as my landscapes

represent various parts of the state from Ashtabula County where I grew up to local scenes right here in Darke County.”

In addition to life’s transitions, Overholser said another reason for the title is that she is currently transitioning her method for painting. “Most of my earlier works were all oil paintings created using brushes, and you’ll see some of these in the show. In the last year, though, I’ve begun working with palette knives. It really allows you to be more

expressive and creative with the piece and helps to add texture.”

While the show will feature both paintings completed with brush and palette knife, Overholser said one common theme in the show is the overall style. “While the landscapes all represent different parts of the state, everything I do is inspired by the Impressionists. I’ve always loved the result of the bold strokes and markings in Impressionist styled works as it truly helps give each painting its own

WEEKEND EDITION Greenville Early Bird

Sunday, June 30, 2019 1B

Greenville Rotary Club gives back to community GREENVILLE – The Greenville Rotary Club celebrated its annual Giving Back Luncheon by giving $33,000 in scholarships and community grants to eight Darke County students and 49 organizations. The funds are derived from the two fundraising projects performed by the club and include delivery and tear down of voting booths for the Darke County Board of Elections at each polling place for every election and a favorite for many fairgoers – the Rotary Lemon ShakeUp stands.

With the Versailles Rotary Club disbanding, the Greenville Rotary Club opened scholarship opportunities to the entire county this year, including students from Versailles High School. A committee that included Kristin Fee, chairman, and

members Christy Bugher, Kyle Lehman, Gavin Glasscoe, and Rhonda Williams sorted through 40 applications to narrow the field to 16. Those 16 were given interviews with the following eight students receiving scholarships – Kelsi Ruble, Greenville; Ting Hao Zeng, Franklin Monroe; Caitlyn Luthman, Versailles; Nicole Brocious, Franklin Monroe; Benjamin Davis, Versailles; Courtney Batten, Versailles; Brooks Blakeley, Versailles; and Morgan Heitkamp, Versailles. Each student received a $1,000 scholarship.

Sharing in $25,000 in community grants were American Red Cross, Anna Bier Gallery, Annie Oakley Festival, Annie Oakley Golf Tournament, Ansonia Local Schools, Arcanum Business Association, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boy Scout Troop 185, Boys & Girls Club of Greenville, Brethren

Ribbon cut on new Gordmans store GREENVILLE – Greenville joined 24 other communities throughout Ohio on Thursday morning when they hosted a Darke County Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting ceremony for Gordmans.

Hawkeys ready to hang highway sign for son UNION CITY, Ohio — Duane and Linda Hawkey, who live in Union City, Ind., are awaiting Union City, Ohio Village Council’s approval before they put up a highway sign designating their son Chris’ hometown. They are planning for it to be installed on one of the highways leading into town — once they get the OK. Chris, a well-known musician who hailed from this village and graduated in 1989 from Mississinawa Valley High School, continues to share his musical and announcing talents as

Linda Moody|DarkeCountyMedia.com

Linda and Duane Hawkey are going to be proud in install his sign at the entrance of Union City, Ohio, once approval has been given. It is in honor of their son, Chris, who is doing quite well in the entertainment field.

well as work on various causes. He lives in Minnesota and travels a lot in his many endeavors. He even visits Union City when he can.

A former rock-n-roll singer, Chris now mostly sings country tunes, many of which he has written.

“He has a couple of top 50 hits,” his father said.

“One of them is ‘My Kinda Crazy.’”

That song was launched in 2014. It was his first solo country hit record. A year later saw the release of the CD “Country Underneath” a compilation of songs that would yield three radio hits including the nationally charting single “Favorite Son.” The youngest of two children of the Hawkeys, Chris got his start in the music industry when he was in his mid-teens.

“He saw an ad in the Early Bird that a band in Greenville needed a lead singer, so we told him to try out,” Linda said. “I drove him to meet with John Guttadore and Stone Blind. Ten or 11 tried out and they hired him. He was not old enough to play in bars, so his father and I had to go with him because of that. “ “I raced cars at Eldora from 1968-76,” Duane said. “One time, when he was 13 or 14 years old and wasn’t able to race, Chris picked up the microphone and started announcing.”

It was then he knew he wanted to attend broadcasting school to pursue a career in radio while con-

tinuing to chase his musical dreams.

“He started doing stuff at KISS (radio) and WAZU 102.0 Night Star at no pay,” Duane said.

“Then he was hired at Virginia Beach, Va., as a radio person. He worked there a year. His wife, Kim, was one of the managers.”

“His big break came in 2001,” his father said. ’”Everything went boom, boom, boom. He did music, radio station and football stuff. He was hired to co-host and produce the Powertrip Morning Show on sports giant KFAN Radio, a morning show which is the number-one rated program in the Twin Cities and now syndicated

to multiple cities across the Upper Midwest on the FAN Radio Network.”

The Hawkeys are afraid people around here won’t know about their son and what he’s accomplished as he lives so far away. “Local radio stations don’t play his music,” Linda said.

“He’s very popular in Minnesota,” Linda said.

“He has done a benefit for a child with tuberous sclerosis, has won a Grammy, sang overseas, and threw a pitch out for the farm team in Minnesota.”

of the business income tax deduction; funding for multiple water quality initiatives; and necessary funding for Ohio State University and Central State University Extension, the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, Ohio Soil and Water Conservation Districts and OSU’s College of Veterinary Medicine.

Farm Bureau also sought needed funding for multiple programs within the Ohio Departments of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environmental Protection.

Farm Bureau members called, texted and emailed Senators to express their views on the budget. The

organization also offered formal testimony several times during the hearing process.

“Our members spoke and our senators listened,” said Ohio Farm Bureau Executive Vice President Adam Sharp. “We’re pleased that our priorities were addressed in the Senate’s budget.”

The two-year budget, which must now be reconciled with the House version and approved by Gov. Mike DeWine, comes at a crucial time for farmers and rural communities.

The worst planting season and production outlook on record, already low commodity prices and marketdisrupting international trade disputes have weakened Ohio’s largest industry.

The business income tax deduction is especially important to farmers in the midst of an economic downturn.

Ohio Farm Bureau First Vice President Bill Patterson, a produce grower and bakery operator, told senators during budget testimony that the tax deduction helps farmers by “allowing the good years to create a

cushion. As a capital intensive business that typically requires yearly operating loans, the ability to save in good years due to policies like the business income tax deduction have allowed many farms to stay afloat as times have gotten tough.”

The Senate budget also includes funding for Gov. DeWine’s proposed H2Ohio program, which will create additional tools for farmers who are working to adjust farming practices in ways that will improve water quality in Lake Erie and Ohio’s other waterways.

The Senate budget also supports other water quality measures through specific agency and university programs.

Other line-items Farm Bureau advocated for include ODA’s food safety, meat inspection, dairy, Ohio Proud and plant industry divisions, the Heidelberg Water Quality Lab and Ohio Sea Grant programs and education initiatives for career tech and industryrecognized credentials.

Sharp said he was proud of the efforts of Farm Bureau members who reached out to their state senators. He encouraged members of the House-Senate conference committee to deliver to the governor a biennial budget that reflects the needs of rural Ohio.

“Farmers and their communities are feeling the effects of a terrible farm economy,” he said. “We need lawmakers to respond accordingly.”
